a journey into household design

ABOUT

HOME- (n.) a place where one lives; an environment affording security and happiness; a valued place considered a refuge or place of origin.

GOD FIRST

Psalm 127:1-2

"Unless the LORD builds the house,

toiling for food to eat-

For He grants rest to those He loves."
